My advice, unasked for, is threefold. First, accept that st first it’s going to be a little messy. Your sleep might get wonky, you might feel a bit depressed or “blank” and you might even have hot flashes. It will pass, and little tokes here and there don’t so much help as reset the clock. Second, your appetite might take a hit, but it’s important to eat well. Finally, keep yourself occupied with something low-effort that you enjoy, preferably something that makes you smile. If you find yourself ruminating don’t dive deep into it, just quietly say “no” and move on. When you slide back into rumination, same thing, no big production, just “no” and think about something else. Accept that this will take time, and you won’t feel really normal for a while, but you will feel OK again.
